Frequently Asked Questions

See the Call for Papers page for tracks, deadlines, formatting templates and submission instructions.

  • The maximum manuscript length is 18 pages for the main text, exclusive of references and appendices up to 7 pages. Submissions exceeding this limit may be considered by the chair, particularly in the case of review or survey articles.
  • Submissions must present original research relevant to the conference topics.
  • Authors must ensure the accuracy of all sections in their paper.
  • The abstract should adhere to the 150-250 word limit as per the conference guidelines.
  • Place figures and tables where they are discussed in the text, and make sure they are clear and easy to read.
  • All figures, tables, references, appendices, algorithms, annexures, and supplementary materials must be clearly numbered, properly cited in the text.
  • Tables must be neatly aligned within the page margins and must not overflow the page boundaries.
  • Figure captions and table headings should be concise, unique, and ideally limited to a maximum of two lines.
  • References should be formatted correctly and consistently, including all the necessary details such as, author names, paper titles, publication sources, and years. Every reference listed must be cited in the main text.
  • The use of foreign languages in the manuscript is not allowed unless accompanied by a corresponding English translation.
  • Manuscripts are required to adhere to the formatting guidelines specified in the provided template.

Submissions will undergo double-blind peer review. To ensure anonymity, please omit all author-identifying information from your manuscript, including names, affiliations, and any funding or other acknowledgments. Citations and mentions of closely related prior work should also be anonymized.

All submitted papers will be reviewed by a minimum of three regular program committee members or two senior program committee members. Acceptance decisions will be based on assessments of novelty, technical depth, elegance, impact (both practical and theoretical), and presentation quality.

  • Original: Exploring a new idea, project, issue, or offering new insights/perspectives on existing research/information.
  • Engaging: Interactive and audience-engaging, or addressing research community needs.
  • Significant: Addressing key issues related to improving current techniques' effectiveness, with easily understood and widely applicable content.
  • Quality: Substantiated by adequate data, referencing relevant existing work, and honestly acknowledging limitations.
  • Relevant: Aligned with at least one of the conference's designated tracks.

The conference permits the responsible use of Generative AI (GenAI) tools in manuscript preparation. Authors are required to observe the following:

  • Declare Usage – Any use of GenAI must be disclosed in the manuscript (e.g., in a Declaration on Generative AI section).
  • Maintain Responsibility – Authors must critically review and edit AI-assisted text; unedited AI output is not acceptable.
  • No AI Authorship – GenAI tools cannot be listed as authors. Authorship is limited to humans who take full responsibility for the work.
  • Limit Role of AI – GenAI may support drafting and language refinement, but the development of scientific ideas, arguments, results, and conclusions must be carried out by human authors.
  • Accountability – Authors remain fully accountable for the accuracy, originality, and integrity of their manuscripts.

Note: Non-compliance with these guidelines will be treated as academic misconduct and may result in the removal of published work.
